Come relive the past on this three hour exciting Gangster Mob Prohibition Pub Crawl Tour. Your tour guide will help make the past come alive. In 1920, the United States created the 18th amendment to the Constitution which banned liquor production, public consumption and the selling of anything alcoholic. This catapulted the criminal world and helped the gangsters monopolize and grow their illegal business of alcohol. It made some of the most vicious gangsters gain fortune and fame. Illegal bars known as speakeasies opened by the tens of thousands all over the country and served bootleg liquor to the thirsty public. When something is illegal it creates an underworld that will stop at nothing. As Al Capone said, “All I do is supply a public demand”.

On this tour, you will walk in the footsteps of the gangsters and visit some of the watering holes that served illegal liquor during Prohibition. There you can sip a craft cocktail or if you prefer a beer or wine or even a shot served by some of the top bartenders in New York.

While sipping on your now “legal” alcoholic beverage you will hear stories of the Mafia and how it infiltrated into society. We will stop at three to four pubs; some of which were “speakeasies”. At the end of the tour, you will be a “wiseguy” about prohibition and the mob.

With extensive research on Jewish Gangsters and the history of what was a Mensch (a person with integrity and honor) from a good Jewish home turn to a life of crime a powerful presentation has been created. During the course of guiding Gangster tours and Jewish Lower East Side tours Robin learned that many people share this same curiosity. Based on this she has created a Power Point presentation “From Mensch To Mobster” a look into the Jewish Gangster.
This presentation is being offered to organizations, temples, libraries, schools and other institutions or individuals. When attending one of her lectures one gains the insight into the underworld and culture that helped create the Jewish Mobster. Stories are shared of how Arnold Rothstien, Meyer Lansky, Bugsy Siegel, Monk Eastman and others climbed the ladder from impoverished slum neighborhoods to the glamour of Las Vegas.

This speaking engagement is also available in conjunction with a Jewish Lower East Side walking tour.
